Peer Mentoring Program – Mentors

The Faculty of Law with the support of SULS (Sydney University Law Society) and CLSS (Chinese Law Student Society) launched a Peer to Peer Mentoring program in February 2010. You may have been involved as a mentor/mentee with this program or perhaps you were involved with one of the other facility mentoring programs. This program has also run in 2011 and 2012.

Your role as a mentor:

As a mentor you will have the opportunity to:

  • Attend a 60 minute mentoring information session (If you were a law mentor in previously).
  • If you are new to mentoring you will attend the information session and a two hour training session that will provide you with the skills to be an effective mentor.
  • Receive a certificate that you can include in your resume that will outline your skills and experience gained in the program.
  • Mentor either JD students or LLB (combined) students.
  • Make new friends and widen your networks.
  • Help new students settle into the University.
  • Attend a range of social and academic events.
